Looking for a last-minute gift for someone technical who wants to get into AI, or an entry point for yourself?
I highly recommend "Natural Language Processing with Transformers" by Lewis Tunstall, Leandro von Werra & Thomas Wolf. It's a practical guide to training and scaling transformer models, written by the people who built the library at Hugging Face.
This is where I learned the fundamentals of modern transformer models a few years ago, and despite being from 2022, the notes I took while reading the book remain the resource I go back to most on the topic.
Happy Holidays!
